| * | | | | | | | | | | | meson: properly wire up dependencies for our docsPatrick Steinhardt2024-12-271-10/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of Meson documentation targets use `meson.current_source_dir()` to resolve inputs. This has the downside that it does not automagically make Meson track these inputs as a dependency. After all, string arguments really can be anything, even if they happen to match an actual filesystem path. Adapt these build targets to instead use inputs.

Wire up support for the latter, as well. Our Makefile always favors Asciidoc, but Meson will automatically figure out which of both to use based on whether they are installed or not. To keep compatibility with our Makefile it favors Asciidoc over Asciidoctor in case both are available. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

One limitation of the command was that it didn't support migrating repositories which contained reflogs. A previous commit, added support for adding reflog updates in ref transactions. Using the added functionality bake in reflog support for `git refs migrate`. To ensure that the order of the reflogs is maintained during the migration, we add the index for each reflog update as we iterate over the reflogs from the old reference backend. This is to ensure that the order is maintained in the new backend.

Replace the <date/> tag in the XML to inject the value of GIT_DATE. Unlike <refmiscinfo/> as handled in a recent commit, we have no reason to expect that this tag might be missing, so there's no need for "maybe remove, then add" and we can just outright replace the one that Asciidoctor has generated based on the mtime of the source file. Compared to pre-a38edab7c8, we now end up injecting this also in the build of Git.3pm, which until now has been using the mtime of Git.pm.

Before a38edab7c8, we used to just provide a few attributes to Asciidoctor (and asciidoc). Commit 7a30134358 (asciidoctor-extensions: provide `<refmiscinfo/>`, 2019-09-16) noted that older versions of Asciidoctor didn't propagate those attributes into the built XML files, so we started injecting them ourselves from this script. With newer versions of Asciidoctor, we'd end up with some harmless duplication among the tags in the final XML. Post-a38edab7c8, we don't provide these attributes and Asciidoctor inserts empty-ish values. After our additions from 7a30134358, we get <refmiscinfo class="source">&#160;</refmiscinfo> <refmiscinfo class="manual">&#160;</refmiscinfo> <refmiscinfo class="source">2.47.1.[...]</refmiscinfo> <refmiscinfo class="manual">Git Manual</refmiscinfo> When these are handled, it appears to be first come first served, meaning that our additions have no effect and we regress as described in the first paragraph. Remove existing "source" or "manual" <refmiscinfo/> tags before adding ours. I considered removing all <refmiscinfo/> to get a nice clean slate, instead of just those two that we want to replace to be a bit more precise. I opted for the latter. Maybe one day, Asciidoctor learns to insert something useful there which `xmlto` can pick up and make good use of -- let's not interfere.

A file called "version" in the source tree's root directory, if it exists. 2. The current commit in case Git is built from a Git repository. 3. Otherwise, we use a fallback version stored in a variable which is bumped whenever a new Git version is getting tagged. It used to be possible to override the version by overriding the `GIT_VERSION` Makefile variable (e.g. `make GIT_VERSION=foo`). This worked somewhat by chance, only: `GIT-VERSION-GEN` would write the actual Git version into `GIT-VERSION-FILE`, not the overridden value, but when including the file into our Makefile we would not override the `GIT_VERSION` variable because it has already been set by the user. And because our Makefile used the variable to propagate the version to our build tools instead of using `GIT-VERSION-FILE` the resulting build artifacts used the overridden version. But that subtle mechanism broke with 4838deab65 (Makefile: refactor GIT-VERSION-GEN to be reusable, 2024-12-06) and subsequent commits because the version information is not propagated via the Makefile variable anymore, but instead via the files that `GIT-VERSION-GEN` started to write. And as the script never knew about the `GIT_VERSION` environment variable in the first place it uses one of the values listed above instead of the overridden value. Fix this issue by making `GIT-VERSION-GEN` handle the case where `GIT_VERSION` has been set via the environment. Note that this requires us to introduce a new GIT_VERSION_OVERRIDE variable that stores a potential user-provided value, either via the environment or via "config.mak". Ideally we wouldn't need it and could just continue to use GIT_VERSION for this. But unfortunately, Makefiles will first include all sub-Makefiles before figuring out whether it needs to re-make any of them [1]. Consequently, if there already is a GIT-VERSION-FILE, we would have slurped in its value of GIT_VERSION before we call GIT-VERSION-GEN, and because GIT-VERSION-GEN now uses that value as an override it would mean that the first generated value for GIT_VERSION will remain unchanged. Furthermore we have to move the include for "GIT-VERSION-FILE" after the includes for "config.mak" and related so that GIT_VERSION_OVERRIDE can be set to the value provided by "config.mak".

This allows us to avoid a needless rebuild by not updating timestamps of the target file when its contents will remain unchanged anyway. In fact though, this exact logic is already handled in GIT-VERSION-GEN, so doing this manually is pointless. This is a leftover from an earlier version of 4838deab65 (Makefile: refactor GIT-VERSION-GEN to be reusable, 2024-12-06), where the script didn't handle that logic for us.

Let's add corresponding support for `git range-diff`, too. This makes it more convenient to spot differences between commit ranges that contain merges. This is especially true in scenarios with non-trivial merges, i.e. merges introducing changes other than, or in addition to, what merge ORT would have produced. Merging a topic branch that changes a function signature into a branch that added a caller of that function, for example, would require the merge commit itself to adjust that caller to the modified signature. In my code reviews, I found the `--diff-merges=remerge` option particularly useful. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Add a new option "warn-if-not-$branch", where $branch is a branch name we do not wish to get a warning about. If the remote HEAD is $branch do not warn, otherwise, behave as "warn". E.g. let's assume, that our remote origin has HEAD set to "master", but locally we have "git remote set-head origin seen". Setting 'remote.origin.followRemoteHEAD = "warn"' will always print a warning, even though the remote has not changed HEAD from "master". Setting 'remote.origin.followRemoteHEAD = "warn-if-not-master" will squelch the warning message, unless the remote changes HEAD from "master". Note, that should the remote change HEAD to "seen" (which we have locally), there will still be no warning. Improve the advice message in report_set_head to also include silencing the warning message with "warn-if-not-$branch".

Unfortunately, for users who wish to NOT have refs/remotes/$remote/HEAD set for any reason (e.g. so that `git rev-parse origin` doesn't accidentally point them somewhere they do not want to), there is no way to remove this behaviour. On the other side of the spectrum, users may want fetch to automatically update HEAD or at least give them a warning if something changed on the remote. Introduce a new setting, remote.$remote.followRemoteHEAD with four options: - "never": do not ever do anything, not even create - "create": the current behaviour, now the default behaviour - "warn": print a message if remote and local HEAD is different - "always": silently update HEAD on every change Signed-off-by: Bence Ferdinandy <bence@ferdinandy.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Meson supports different backends, including Ninja, Xcode and Microsoft Visual Studio. Several common IDEs provide an integration with it. The biggest contender compared to Meson is probably CMake as outlined in our "Documentation/technical/build-systems.txt" file. Based on my own personal experience from working with both build systems extensively I strongly favor Meson over CMake. In my opinion, it feels significantly easier to use with a syntax that feels more like a "real" programming language. The second big reason is that Meson supports Rust natively, which may prove to be important given that the project may pick up Rust as another language eventually. Using Meson is rather straight-forward. An example: ``` # Meson uses out-of-tree builds. You can set up multiple build # directories, how you name them is completely up to you. $ mkdir build $ cd build $ meson setup .. -Dprefix=/tmp/git-installation # Build the project. This also provides several other targets like e.g. `install` or `test`. $ ninja # Meson has been wired up to support execution of our test suites. # Both our unit tests and our integration tests are supported. # Running `meson test` without any arguments will execute all tests, # but the syntax supports globbing to select only some tests. $ meson test 't-*' # Execute single test interactively to allow for debugging. $ meson test 't0000-*' --interactive --test-args=-ix ``` The build instructions have been successfully tested on the following systems, tests are passing: - Apple macOS 10.15. - FreeBSD 14.1. - NixOS 24.11. - OpenBSD 7.6. - Ubuntu 24.04. - Windows 10 with Cygwin. - Windows 10 with MinGW64, except for t9700, which is also broken with our Makefile. - Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2022 toolchain, using the Native Tools Command Prompt with `meson setup --vsenv`. Tests pass, except for t9700. - Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2022 solution, using the Native Tools Command Prompt with `meson setup --backend vs2022`. Tests pass, except for t9700. - Windows 10 with VS Code, using the Meson plug-in. It is expected that there will still be rough edges in the current version. If this patch lands the expectation is that it will coexist with our other build systems for a while. Like this, distributions can slowly migrate over to Meson and report any findings they have to us such that we can continue to iterate. A potential cutoff date for other build systems may be Git 3.0. Some notes: - The installed distribution is structured somewhat differently than how it used to be the case. All of our binaries are installed into `$libexec/git-core`, while all binaries part of `$bindir` are now symbolic links pointing to the former. This rule is consistent in itself and thus easier to reason about. - We do not install dashed binaries into `$libexec/git-core` anymore, so there won't e.g. be a symlink for git-add(1). These are not required by modern Git and there isn't really much of a use case for those anymore. By not installing those symlinks we thus start the deprecation of this layout. - We're targeting Meson 1.3.0, which has been released relatively recently November 2023. The only feature we use from that version is `fs.relative_to()`, which we could replace if necessary. If so, we could start to target Meson 1.0.0 and newer, released in December 2022. - The whole build instructions count around 3300 lines, half of which is listing all of our code and test files. Our Makefiles are around 5000 lines, autoconf adds another 1300 lines. CMake in comparison has only 1200 linescode, but it avoids listing individual files and does not wire up auto-configuration as extensively as the Meson instructions do. - We bundle a set of subproject wrappers for curl, expat, openssl, pcre2 and zlib. This allows developers to build Git without these dependencies preinstalled, and Meson will fetch and build them automatically. This is especially helpful on Windows.

Unfortunately, top-level includes are only ever resolved relative to the base directory, which is typically the directory of the including document. Most importantly, it is not possible to have either asciidoc or asciidoctor search multiple directories. It follows that both kinds of includes must live in the same directory. This is of course a bummer for out-of-tree builds, because here the dynamically-built includes live in the build directory whereas the static includes live in the source directory. Introduce a `build_dir` attribute and prepend it to all of our includes for dynamically-built files. This attribute gets set to the build directory and thus converts the include path to an absolute path, which asciidoc and asciidoctor know how to resolve. Note that this change also requires us to update "build-docdep.perl", which tries to figure out included files such our Makefile can set up proper build-time dependencies. This script simply scans through the source files for any lines that match "^include::" and treats the remainder of the line as included file path. But given that those may now contain the "{build_dir}" variable we have to teach the script to replace that attribute with the actual build directory.

This allows a user to covert existing worktrees between absolute/relative as desired. To simplify things, both linking files are written when one of the files needs to be repaired. In some cases, this fixes the other file before it is checked, in other cases this results in a correct file being written with the same contents.
